Best Answer

Because there is insufficient energy to the starter and/or ignition system.

Possible reasons:

* That typically occurs when the battery is not fully charged or incapable of holding a full charge. * A faulty battery can cause the problem; if one or more of the battery cells are incapable of holding a charge, you could experience what you describe. * A weak or faulty alternator could result in a partially charged battery. * Poor battery connections or starter connection could result in insufficient electrical energy reaching the starter motor. * It's also possible that a faulty starter motor is drawing too much current.
